Science-Technology Title: Consensus Shattered As Major Scientific Study Says Global Warming Is Natural. An inconvenient new peer-reviewed study published in the December 2007 issue of the International Journal of Climatology. Climate warming is naturally caused and shows no human influence: Climate scientists at the University of Rochester, the University of Alabama, and the University of Virginia report that observed patterns of temperature changes (‘fingerprints’) over the last thirty years are not in accord with what greenhouse models predict and can better be explained by natural factors, such as solar variability. Therefore, climate change is ‘unstoppable’ and cannot be affected or modified by controlling the emission of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, as is proposed in current legislation. These results are in conflict with the conclusions of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and also with some recent research publications based on essentially the same data. However, they are supported by the results of the US-sponsored Climate Change Science Program (CCSP). The report is published in the December 2007 issue of the International Journal of Climatology of the Royal Meteorological Society [DOI: 10.1002/joc.1651]. The authors are Prof. David H. Douglass (Univ. of Rochester), Prof. John R. Christy (Univ. of Alabama), Benjamin D. Pearson (graduate student), and Prof. S. Fred Singer (Univ. of Virginia). The fundamental question is whether the observed warming is natural or anthropogenic (human-caused). Lead author David Douglass said: “The observed pattern of warming, comparing surface and atmospheric temperature trends, does not show the characteristic fingerprint associated with greenhouse warming. The inescapable conclusion is that the human contribution is not significant and that observed increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases make only a negligible contribution to climate warming.” Co-author John Christy said: “Satellite data and independent balloon data agree that atmospheric warming trends do not exceed those of the surface. Greenhouse models, on the other hand, demand that atmospheric trend values be 2-3 times greater. We have good reason, therefore, to believe that current climate models greatly overestimate the effects of greenhouse gases. Satellite observations suggest that GH models ignore negative feedbacks, produced by clouds and by water vapor, that diminish the warming effects of carbon dioxide.” Co-author S. Fred Singer said: “The current warming trend is simply part of a natural cycle of climate warming and cooling that has been seen in ice cores, deep-sea sediments, stalagmites, etc., and published in hundreds of papers in peer-reviewed journals. The mechanism for producing such cyclical climate changes is still under discussion; but they are most likely caused by variations in the solar wind and associated magnetic fields that affect the flux of cosmic rays incident on the earth’s atmosphere. In turn, such cosmic rays are believed to influence cloudiness and thereby control the amount of sunlight reaching the earth’s surface and thus the climate.” Our research demonstrates that the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2 has only a minor influence on climate change. We must conclude, therefore, that attempts to control CO2 emissions are ineffective and pointless. – but very costly.

"Follow the money." (About the only wise thing I learned from GOP operative Rush Windbag.) Speaking of "wind":
"...but they are most likely caused by variations in the solar wind and associated magnetic fields that affect the flux of cosmic rays incident on the earth’s atmosphere."
I suspect the solar wind speed is directly proportional to the transmission wattage used to broadcast Rush Windbag, Hannity and other hot air, oxygen thieves like Savage.

Australia’s new PM Rudd acts swiftly on climate
BRISBANE (Reuters) - Australia’s new prime minister, Kevin Rudd, made climate change his top priority on Sunday, seeking advice on ratifying the Kyoto pact and telling Indonesia he will go to December’s UN climate summit in Bali… Rudd, 50, presented himself to voters as a new-generation leader by promising to pull troops out of Iraq and ratify the Kyoto Protocol capping greenhouse gas emissions, further isolating Washington on both issues. But while he intends to immediately overturn Howard’s opposition to the Kyoto pact, Rudd has said he would negotiate a gradual withdrawal of Australian frontline forces from Iraq. Rudd, a Mandarin-speaking former diplomat, said he discussed Kyoto ratification with his British counterpart Gordon Brown, as well as Indonesia’s President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono…
Rudd is expected to forge closer ties with China and other Asian nations and has said he wants a more independent voice in foreign policy, with past Labor governments more supportive of an energetic United Nations and global organizations…
Rudd also pledged unity at home and an end to controversial offshore detention of illegal immigrants.
Labor would also care for Aborigines after a conservative intervention this year to seize control of remote outback indigenous communities with troops and police in order to stamp out child sexual assaults and alcohol abuse… "If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968)." ---Ezra Taft Benson, #3. To: All (#2) Australia’s new prime minister, Kevin Rudd, made climate change his top priority on Sunday, seeking advice on ratifying the Kyoto pact What a shame. Australia. A land that could be freeer and have more liberty than about anyone else on earth, and be left alone. And what do they do? They want to hand the control of their lives and their country over to foreigners, strangers and the NWO tyrants. This is as sad as when Rhodesia was handed to Mugabe, and DeKlerk sold South Africa to the ANC and Mandella. But just wait; I want to see Rudd's face when the spics start swimming ashore there.

To: barkentine (#1) Here is the way I see it. There is plant life under the ice at antartica and the North Pole. We are still in the ice age and coming out of it. That's why both poles are still covered in ice. We are returning to the way it has been in the past. Probably triggered by the flood of Noah in the Bible.
#5. To: barkentine (#3) What a shame. Australia. A land that could be freeer and have more liberty than about anyone else on earth, and be left alone. And what do they do? A while back I read that Australia was looking for people with trades to move there. Im my memory is working correctly they were even offering money for people with certain skills. I would like to see Australia some day.
#6. To: A K A Stone (#4) We are returning to the way it has been in the past. Probably triggered by the flood of Noah in the Bible. That sounds reasonable. Better explanation than Kyoto and the environmental communists.
I have also read that Nothern England (UK) had an Ice Age as recent as 1000 - 1100 AD. This suggests the Ice Ages come and go.

To: A K A Stone (#5) I would like to see Australia some day. Yes, same here. By boat.

To: barkentine (#7) Boat would be nice. The beaches would be fun. I would also like to hike inland and see the land. I love the outdoors. When I went to yellowstone a couple of years ago. I was thinking I could just wonder over that mountain and disappear. Then I remembered I had a family to support. They wouldn't be into that kind of lifestyle.
#9. To: barkentine (#6) Better explanation than Kyoto You know about the "greens" don't you? They are watermelons. Green on the outside but red on the inside.
